Snow, believe it or not

Posted: Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Dear Parents, Cast, and Crew of Thoroughly Modern Millie:

Just when we thought it was safe to put our winter clothes away, we’ve come under the threat of a spring snowstorm or two. Dr. Freeston, Dr. Cyganovich, Dr. Bovino and I have been working on a contingency plan in case we are a) sent home early on Wednesday b) cancelled on Thursday, and/or c) cancelled on Saturday. Here are our plans:

WEDNESDAY. 3/22/11
• IF WE HAVE AN EARLY DISMISSAL, there will be no rehearsal.
• IF AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED, the stage crew will be excused from class 8th and 9th period to dry-run scene changes.
THURSDAY, 3/23/11
• IF SCHOOL IS CLOSED, we will watch the roads/parking lot, and if Mr. Green decides it is safe, he will open the school for us so we can have our dress rehearsal. The time will depend on when everything is cleared of snow/slush/ice.
• IF WE START WITH A DELAY, and will rehearse as scheduled.
SATURDAY, 3/26/11
• IF THE SHOW IS CANCELLED, we will add a special performance on Monday evening at 7:00. People with tickets for Saturday will have the option to exchange their Saturday tickets at the box office for the Sunday performance on a first-come, first served basis, OR come to the Monday performance. If neither option is amenable, we will refund ticket money.
SUNDAY, 3/27/11
• IF THE SHOW IS CANCELLED, tickets will be honored at the special Monday performance. If coming Monday is impossible, money will be refunded.

IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CHECK THE BLOG @ www.nsdirector.blogspot.com FOR UPDATES. My Email, in case you have scheduling questions on Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday is: coatesd@northsalem.k12.ny.us.

Thanks so much for your patience, flexibility, determination, and drive. You all deserve massive amounts of credit for the work you’ve put into this production.

Mr. Coates
